Finance Manager/Financial Controller (Temp to Perm)
17th March, 2025
Interim (temporary to permanent) Finance Manager/Financial Controller opportunity with a £30m t/o rapidly expanding e-commerce business in Merseyside. There is a permanent requirement but due to time restraints, our client is looking to bring someone in on less than 1 month's notice ideally, hence looking for applicants who can join quickly. Reporting directly to the FD and heading a small finance team, your remit will include:
* Monthly management accounts
* Profit & Loss analysis and reporting by business area.
* Variance analysis - including commentary on budget variances.
* Month end journals.
* Balance sheet control and reconciliations.
* Managing 2 Accounts Assistants (Accounts payable/receivable and payroll).
* Marketing and promotion ROI analysis.
* Stock Management.
* Pricing and margin analysis for new products.
* Maintenance of product costs.
* Profitability analysis - channel and product category level.
* Quarterly UK VAT return.
* Monthly/Quarterly sales tax returns for US and EU markets.
* Liaising with external auditors to produce year-end statutory accounts.
* Supporting the FD with MI pack development.
* Developing current financial controls and procedures to meet the evolving needs of the business.
Applicants should ideally be fully qualified CIMA/ACCA - or later stage active studiers - although "QBE" with the relevant skills and sector knowledge will also be considered. Previous experience in a supervisory role is essential as are excellent communication skills and the ability to build cross-functional relationships, working collaboratively with colleagues to deliver the best possible results. Ecommerce or retail sector experience is essential due to the business partnering/commercial element and Xero experience would be beneficial. An annual salary to £52k (possibly a little flexibility depending on experience) is complemented with good benefits. There is no sponsorship available with this opportunity.
